Heavenly Mountain – Season Recap 11/12

Another Ski season is on the books here at Heavenly Mountain Resort. I can honestly say this season was quite an interesting contrast to last years record breaking snow fall. This winter marked one of the driest winters in over 100 years here in Lake Tahoe. The months just kept passing without a single snowflake from mother nature. The storms finally arrived late in the season and we received the bulk of our seasonal snowfall around mid March. Despite the lack of snow, there was still plenty of memorable days and vertical feet logged. Check out some of my favorite highlights from this year.

Fox Sports – San Diego Padres Open

I Just got back from a week long shoot in San Diego filming the Padres for Fox Sports and DLP Entertainment. The objective of the project was to shoot the opening montage for the Padres, which airs before every game on Fox Sports. This was a really cool assignment, we shot just about every corner of San Diego in a really artistic and stylized way, basically a camera mans dream. For this shoot we wanted to roll as light as possible, so naturally the camera of choice was the Canon 5d MKII, an arsenal of lenses and Kessler pocket dollies to add a bit of movement to the shots. Check out this slick edit from the boys over at DLP Entertainment.

Snowmaking Starts at Heavenly

The team over at snowmaking just fired up the west coast’s largest snowmaking system today at Heavenly Mountain. Nice cold temps are expected the next few day and these guys are planning on pumping out the snow. For the opening sequence, I really wanted to create something different. The concept was to make a dramatic build up, like the count down of a spaceship launch.

I Live For Winter Video Series

I just finished the “I love for Winter” series which highlighted different departments around the mountain and what their employees do in the summer.
This was a concept I originally came up with last year. I think it’s a fun way to build excitement for the up coming winter season and show the great personalities that work at Heavenly.
